Sadie Nance Porter

Sadie Nance Porter, 86, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 16, 2022, at Atrium Health CMC in Charlotte.

Born on March 24, 1936, she was the daughter of the late Mitchell and Litha Marlowe Nance.

    Had such a fun time working with her and Garlene. Friday oct 14 th. Working on painting her garage and the storage building outback. All three of us were busy scraping paint chips off of the building and going over it with a wire brush laughing and picking at each other, On a nice warm sunny day. Before I left we painted the entrance door to the garage just to see how good it was going to look and she was so happy. Going to really miss her. PS. I think she loved my chocolate walnut cherry fudge, more than anyone.

      She was excited to get it painted. She was a lot of fun. And I’m sure she loved the fudge. It sounds good.

    She was always the best of friends with my grandparents, Glenn and Carolyn Little. I have the fondest memories of her always laughing and joking with them, and she was always nice to me as a kid. Her son Michael used to play basketball with me and was a good well rounded player as well. I hated to hear about her being gone, she is from a loving well respected family.
